WLIO-DT2 is the primary Fox and secondary MyNetworkTV-affiliated television station for Northwestern Ohio. The station is a second digital subchannel of NBC affiliate WLIO that is owned by Block Communications. Over-the-air, it broadcasts a digital signal on VHF channel 8.2 from a transmitter on Rice Avenue in Lima. This can also be seen on Time Warner channel 9 and in high definition on digital channel 709. Syndicated programming on WLIO-DT2 includes: Seinfeld, Family Guy, King of the Hill, and Scrubs. Its parent station has studios on Rice Avenue in Lima.

Launched on September 18, 2006, this channel had been serving as over-the-air access to The CW since its predecessor The WB was only seen on cable through The WB 100+ channel "WBOH". Originally, the area's Fox affiliate was seen on WOHL-CA (now WOHL-CD) which was with the network from its inception on October 9, 1989 until September 28, 2009. On that date, low-powered ABC affiliate WLQP-LP terminated their analog operations and its programming was shifted to WOHL. Due to Class A status, that channel did not air a digital signal of its own while broadcasting in analog. However, there was one offered on WLIO's second digital sunchannel. After WOHL's switch to ABC, Fox and MyNetworkTV shows continue to be seen on WLIO-DT2.
